1986 CHEVROLET CELEBRITY Online Auction | York, Nebraska | AuctionTime



That is flippin clean. $100 so far.

Hey everyone,
I've heard some horror stories of the 2.8/3.1 crank sensor breaking off in the block. I may have to replace mine, is there anything I could coat the sensor with to prevent that from happening? I'd think oil or grease would bake the plastic sensor housing. Maybe anti seize? Maybe on a yearly basis just pull it out so it doesn't settle over many years and heat cycles?

It's a bare bones model, no options, but it seems to be legit low miles.

Hey everyone,
I have an '87 Ciera 2.8 MPFI. I might attempt to replace the crank balancer. Does anyone know the crank bolt size? Or a part number from GM, Dorman, etc. I googled it and apparently there's a common bolt for sale for the Chevy 305, 350 that fits the 2.8/3.1 multi port. 

7/16" - 20 pitch.
2 1/2" length. 
5/8" hex head. 
Grade 8 threads. 
Can anyone confirm this?
I'd just match the bolt when I take it out. I'm a bit intimidated with removing balancer lol. I'd just like to find bolt before I even start. 

Thanks

Does this go in this section or in For Sale?

Not mine; no affiliation. I used to own a 6000 SE AWD and participated a bit in the ancient fwd gm a-body forum.

Just putting it out there, in case I can help some folks out, but I have had a number of Celebrities over the years and have parted out a couple and I also used to gather parts from the junkyard when they were commonly found there. Body parts, interior parts and some mechanical parts too. Just let me know what you are looking for and I'll see if I have it.

I'm not looking to profit, just get some parts in the hands of people that may need them.

Also, I can say for sure that I pretty much have no parts that are specific to the 4cyl. I've only ever had one 2.5L car and I sent it to scrap still in the car because the engine was toast.

Advance Auto Parts is closing a lot of stores, as you probably already know. The stores that are closing have everything on sale, but even the other stores seem to be clearing some items out. I got a couple of deals for my '92 3300V6 Century and '96 3100V6 Century Custom. The belt tensioners for the 3300s have become harder to find lately.

       

A fine example of a rare vehicle!

I seen this on the old board but only one and half pages of it were posted. I've had a few search alerts for years waiting to see an Oct 1988 edition appear somewhere so I could see the whole article. At one point I called the media company that bought them out to see if reprints were possible, they were, but min order is 100 copies and would have cost a few grand. But, as luck would have it, an Oct 1988 popped up in a lot of several others. So I was finally able to get the whole article. I love some of the wording "they needed an automatic transmission that could handle the 138hp of the 3.1L" 


   
   
   
   

And here's a PDF of the whole article

Finally got Mihoshi going again.  Been close to a year I think, she has been sitting there.

Running fine,  but since I did the LIM replace, she has been rough idling.  Will try to idle but then will finally sputter out.

Just put new WVE ignition module, and new NGK coils on, as well as a new WVE AIC.  

I'm thinking vacuum leak.      One unknown I am dealing with is the hose running from under the throttle body to the back valve cover opening.
Can I plug  this thing off?  I guess I need to get the wd40 out and start spraying around. 

Any thoughts on this issue?  Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm off facebook, maybe for good...thing was taking over my brain   I am running a burner account so I can browse marketplace.
